ULTRA MAGNUS Order all troops to the interior. I'll stay here and buy us some time. RODIMUS PRIME Autobots, retreat to level two! ULTRA MAGNUS Get moving, Rodimus. I'll see you later. RODIMUS PRIME Your courage will be remembered. ULTRA MAGNUS Get moving! {Quintesson ship.} QUINT. 1-1 Projection: eighty-four point seven seven percent probability that defeat of the Autobots will require less than twenty hours. QUINT. 2-2 Naturally, we have given Galvatron something worth fighting for. QUINT. 1-? Let us see if all goes well on Earth. {Earth.} POWERGLIDE Powerglide to intercept squad: I've spotted the Decepticon battle platform, and it's a dozy! I'm being fired on. I'll transmit its coordinates now. PIPES I've got his transmission. The battle platform is headed directly for Autobot Headquarters. WARPATH Then -bam!- let's prepare the ambush! BUMBLEBEE It'l be passing above us soon. WARPATH Wait for my signal, and then -bam!- we'll shoot it straight up the belly. Now! Climb the hill and we'll -blooey!, blam!- finish 'im off. PIPES Powerglide, damage report? POWERGLIDE You gave it a good trashing, Pipes. It's smokin' and... Oh no! It's got another transform: a reptilian mode. WARPATH Pipes, alert Metroplex! {A/A; Autobot City.} BLASTER Hey, Cybertron! This is Blaster blastin' at ya, and we got a passle o' hassles here. There's a monster been born and we can't transform! Cybertron! Cybertron! Come in! HUMAN Where is the transforming cog now? BLASTER Still on Io, Jupiter's moon. Good ol' Sky Lynx better get there soon. Oops! Wrong channel. QUINT. 5-1 {V.O.} Thank you for the update. QUINT. 6-2 We shall see how your Sky Lynx fares against the Predacons. BLASTER Yo! Metroplex to Sky Lynx: be ware or be square. Something called "Predacons" comin' at ya. {On/near Io.} SKY LYNX Understood Blaster. MARISSA Blaster, help! SKY LYNX Sky Lynx to Metroplex: I have locked on to captain Fairborne. Sensors indicate two Autobots as well. {Autobot City.} MARISSA {V.O.} Metroplex, this is Fairborne. {Io} We're close to the end here, Blaster. BLASTER Hold your horn, Fairborne. We're sending Sky Lynx to break your jinx. MARISSA {Io} What's Sky Lynx? BLASTER Er...hu. He's hard to describe, but he'll soon arrive. {Io.} WHEELIE The transforming cog! Where did it go? MARISSA Probably cog heaven. And we're about to join it! {Earth, near the volcano.} WARPATH We have no choice, -boom!,- but to make our stand here! Wham! TRYPTICON [growls] Crush Autobots! Crush volcano! PIPES Autobots, we've got to hold that thing off 'till the cog arrives. TRYPTICON [roars] PIPES As Optimus Prime used to say: transform and roll out! TOGETHER Charge! TRYPTICON [growls] MIXMASTER Constructicons, let us join the battle. SCRAPPER What's the point? We're superfluous. BONECRUSHER Yes. Trypticon's just gonna give 'em the big stomp. POWERGLIDE Okay, monster, let's see how you like the old too. {Trypticon swats his rockets} You can't do that! {And him too} Hu-a-a-a-ow! WARPATH Try and swat this -pow-! TRYPTICON [growls] WARPATH I don't -zeem- believe it! U-aaah! TRYPTICON [growling] WARPATH Now, Teletran One, ooh, activate the defenses, oow. TRYPTICON [growling] {Completely destroys volcano} Autobot volcano, smashed! [growling] Now, towards Autobot City! WARPATH We never, swoop, stood a change, Blllng. PIPES And without the transforming cog, neither does Metroplex. TRYPTICON [sighing] ************************ *** *** *** commercial block *** *** *** ************************ RAMJET The one called Ultra Magnus stands in our way. DIRGE Death will be the reward for his heroism. Uh! Ah! Uuuh! Uh, oh. ULTRA MAGNUS We meet again. GALVATRON Why do you not flee? Did our last encounter teach you nothing? ULTRA MAGNUS Not cowardice, certainly. GALVATRON Hmhahaha! No, nor the sense to recognise when your struggle is hopeless! Another time, Autobot. There are worlds to conquer today. PERCEPTOR Meet your fate valiantly, Autobots! {Blasted Sweep starts spinning} SWEEP A Look out, you idiot! SWEEP B Watch it! SWEEP C But this is over __________ SWEEP D Quiet, you clumsy... yoo-oo-ooh. GALVATRON Blitzwing, our allies request a status report. return to the ship and make them happy. BLITZWING As you command, Galvatron. {D/D; Quintesson ship.} QUINT. 1-? Sharkticons, your mission will take you deep into Cybertron. QUINT. 2-3 Expect resistance from the Autobots. QUINT. 1-? However, the Decepticons will make no attempt to stop you. {Blitzwing carefully looks around the corner} QUINT. 7 Galvatron believes you are helping him locate the Decepticon matrix. QUINT. 1 ...which doesn't exist. QUINT. 2-3 At coordinates omega zero one, you will find a large switch. Push it to the "down" position. QUINT. 6 _Down_, understand? SHARKTICON Down. QUINT. 1 This will render all of the Transformers inert. QUINT. 2 And Cybertron will be ours again. {D/A; Io.} MARISSA Is that...Sky Lynx? SKY LYNX Waaa, waa-aa-aa-aah. Board quickly. MARISSA What's that? BLURR Firebolts, bolts of fire. Start complaining fix_______hurtly swarm... WHEELIE Hardly a storm. See the circly thorn? SKY LYNX Apparently, the Predacons did not receive Blaster's warning. SKY LYNX A [growls 4 times] SKY LYNX G [roars once] RAZORCLAW [roars] Predacons, attack. SKY LYNX A {Swats Predacon} [laughs] MARISSA {After an evasive maneuver} Urh! WHEELIE Ole', sucker! HEADSTRONG [growls] RAZORCLAW [?] BLURR Eh! Ohnononononononono. RAZORCLAW [growls and reacts to shot] {by falling} SKY LYNX If that is the worst the Predacons can do, we have little to fear from... {Predacons become Predaking} MARISSA You don't suffer from overconfidence or anything? PREDAKING He does. But, he will suffer more at the hands of Predaking. SKY LYNX G [noise] [ow aarh] BLURR Ah ah a-a-|ohw! WHEELIE : | PREDAKING Har. SKY LYNX [growl] PREDAKING {Splits up} [?] TANTRUM Grrr. Razorclaw, come back here! SKY LYNX Craah! Autobots! Captain Fairborne! Final boarding call for Autobot City. WHEELIE {Tripping} The transforming cog! {Autobot City.} BLASTER Autobots, this is Blaster blastin' at ya. Report to stations on the double. One silly transform comin' up. Armless or not, we're gonna fight. Let her live. One and all. Heed the call. Ready? Steady...shack-boom. If Sky Lynx don't show, call this the end. TRYPTICON Daaarh! ************************ *** *** *** commercial block *** *** *** ************************ SKY LYNX Sky Lynx to Blaster: beginning approach to Metroplex. We have the transformation cog. ? Autobot shuttle at ten o' clock. SCRAPPER Constructicons, fire! TRYPTICON Wra-arh! SKY LYNX Ah, arh. Blaster, I'm hit. I'm going down! MIXMASTER Huhuhaha. Decepticons, inspect the wreckage! Find the transformation cog and destroy it! SKY LYNX I cannot fly. You must get the cog to Metroplex on foot. BLURR I got an idea. Maybe not a good idea, but an idea. You know football? We'll play. Couldn't more faster 'cause they have a play called the West-end Dodgers play. MARISSA Stop babbling, Blurr, and do it! BLURR WheelieWheeliereadyreadyready for a lateral. {Wheelie catches cog and avoids Motormaster} MOTORMASTER Warh. BONECRUSHER Ooh. WHEELIE Hehehe. {Sees Insecticons in front of him} Oh no! Sky Lynx, catch! {Sky Lynx catches it and throws it towards Pipes at Autobot City} AUT.S AT CITY [cheering] PIPES We've got to install this fast. Trypticon's already off the injured list. {A/D; Cybertron.} GALVATRON Onward, Decepticons. To the matrix and glory! BLITZWING Galvatron, leader! GALVATRON Did you deliver my report to our allies, Blitzwing? BLITZWING No, mighty leader, I_ GALVATRON No? BLITZWING Uh...uh... mighty Galvatron, there is no Decepticons matrix. GALVATRON Ugh! {Hits him; he falls towards the Autobots} Tell it to the Autobots. Mmhuhahahahaha. BLITZWING If I must. Autobots, do not shoot, I beg you! RODIMUS PRIME He begs us? BLITZWING Listen. We are -all of us- in grave peril. Somewhere in the depths of Cybertron, a commando team of Sharkticons is about to unleash a force that will destroy us all! {D/D; Autobot City.} BLURR Faster Pipes, faster faster faster faster. You gotta work faster, because if you don't, Trypticon is gonna stomp us and then where will we be? A_ PIPES Blurr, shut up! Done. Tell Blaster to go full transform. BLASTER I hear you, Metroplex. Thanks. METROPLEX Wrajah! This planet's not big enough for the both of us. TRYPTICON Me crush Metroplex! Naaarh! [people panick] [Trypticon roaring] [people cheering] {Metroplex defeats Trypticon and throws him into the ocean, where something short-circuits} BLASTER Yessir, Metroplex is my kind o' town! {A/D; Cybertron.} SHARKTICON Push down... Farh! {Rodimus Prime & Blitzwing defeat Sharkticons} RODIMUS PRIME Could I... interest you in changing sides? BLITZWING You have my respect, but I could never... GALVATRON Blitzwing, what are you doing here? Surely you're not searching for something that doesn't exist? Perhaps you hope to find the matrix for yourself? {Takes the switch} BLITZWING Don't! GALVATRON Hh. Silence, traitor! {Pulls switch; all Transformers are immediately inert} {Earth.} MALE FARMER Call darn. They plum-burned out. FEMALE FARMER Well, no matter how new-fangled you make 'em, when they bust, they bust. {A/D; 4 Quintessons disembark on Cybertron} QUINT. 1-1 Jrh. Breath in. Smell the cool metallic air of home. QUINT. 3-? After all these many centuries, she is ours once more. QUINT. 1_3 Your war is over, Transformers. For on this day, an empire is reborn... TOGETHER To victory! SPIKE {Takes Rodimus Prime's gun} Sorry, Quins, you blew it! GALVATRON Where are they? QUINT. 2_5 The switch! He destroyed the switch! QUINT. ?-3 We'll never reach the surface alive! QUINT. 3-3 The emergency escape pod! Level fourteen! RODIMUS PRIME There they are! GALVATRON Deceivers! Betrayers! Five-faced slime of the nebula! I will rip your tentacles from_ [don't nah?] {3 Quintessons managed to escape - 4th isn't seen} {Rodimus Prime & Galvatron aim at each other} BLITZWING Enough! {Aiming at Galvatron} This battle ends now, or I shall write its conclusion. GALVATRON You will never be welcome in the ranks of the Decepticons again! BLITZWING Sometimes it's better to be known for one's enemies. GALVATRON You will suffer for this, Blitzwing. You will suffer unimaginably. RODIMUS PRIME Autobots, this is an uneasy victory we have won. We now know that the Decepticons are not our only foes. That another, more dangerous, race of beings also plots our destruction. Our universe will never be the same again. We Transformers have looked into the face of our creators... and seen... the face of an enemy. {CREDITS}
